Email marketing can be a game-changer for your business—when done right. Yet, many businesses make simple email marketing mistakes that undermine their efforts, leading to low engagement and missed opportunities. Fortunately, with the right strategies and tools, you can avoid these pitfalls and take your campaigns to the next level. Here’s how common email marketing mistakes are holding you back—and how TEA can help you turn your campaigns around.

The Trap of Generic Emails

You’ve probably received those mass emails that feel like they were sent to everyone, and you’re not alone—your audience feels the same way. Using email addresses without taking time and effort to provide meaningful information in the message or anything that the recipient considers important will make your email disappear in the Spam bin. Consumers want messages that are specific to their demographic and focus on topics that are important to them.

TEA’s Personalization Features to the Rescue

Using TEA, the audience can be split by demographic characteristics, behaviour and interests. Imagine sending a message that would sound like the sender has been purposely writing it to a particular audience. That’s the beauty of personalization and this is where we can get better open and engagement rates.

Ignoring the Importance of Subject Lines

How often have you seen an email with a subject line that didn’t spark your curiosity? A lackluster or unclear subject line can kill the chances of your email ever being opened. The subject line is your first—and sometimes only—chance to grab attention.
TEA’s A/B Testing to the Rescue

By using the A/B testing tool of TEA, you will be able to compare different subject lines and find out of which one will generate more opens. Learn how to create attention-grabbing subject lines that promise and sell what’s inside the email. Small changes could literally change everything one needs.

Overloading Emails with Information

We’ve all been there: receiving an email and just preparing for a full attack of texts. However, if you provide too much information, it will only bewilder and tire your readers. An e-mail is designed to present your audience with a chunk of easily consumable content that leads to one exact call to action.

TEA’s Clean Templates to the Rescue

A great thing about TEA is that it has showcased gorgeous email templates that can be used to create the most impeccable content layout. Make sure they are not too complex and should have only one core CTA. Sometimes, less can definitely be more and with TEA, your emails will not only be effective, but they will also look good.

Failing to Optimize for Mobile

Well, let’s put it this way: If we cannot send serious emails on our phones, how do people read them anyway? If your email is not responsive, it is like trying to sell an awesome product on a site that does not work well. They waste the opportunity to persuade people to make purchases and instead eliminate such customers before they come across your product or service.

TEA’s Mobile Optimization to the Rescue

TEA ensures that emails sent out look perfect whether viewed on a PC, tablet, or mobile phone. The designs ensure that your message stands out appropriately depending on the device being used by the audience. It is essential to always take a sneak peek at your emails before sending them out to ensure that they are optimized for any available screen size.

Timing Is Everything—Sending Emails at the Wrong Time

Writing an email at the wrong time is like giving a speech in a hall with no occupants. If the audience is dozing, daydreaming, or preoccupied, then the email remains unseen.

TEA’s Analytics to the Rescue

The analytics provided by TEA make it easy to determine the time of day that your audience is most online and therefore the best time to send your emails. Regardless of whether you’re communicating in the morning, afternoon or evening, TEA provides you with all the information necessary to select the most effective time for sending your messages senators.

Ignoring Performance Data

Imagine yourself preparing a campaign strategy and have not the faintest idea of how it was received. That is why tracking is so important: you need to know where you are, and what you are doing right or wrong.

TEA’s Analytics to the Rescue

The technological smart analytics of TEA monitor even the most elementary parameters of campaigns like the open rate or the conversion rate. Now you can adjust your strategy, enhance subsequent emails, and receive the desired result.

 Take Your Email Marketing to New Heights

This point does not mean that email marketing has to be a complete shot in the dark. If you want to build the emails not only to be opened but to produce results, don’t make these frequent email marketing mistakes and utilize the strong tools that are available in TEA. Evaluate your attempts at personalization, application of mobile strategy, and use of data as ways you engage your audience and foster relationships.
